Fitting everything I would need for 5 weeks in one bag proved exceptionally difficult given that weather within Peru changes drastically based on location. In Huancayo, it's around 50F during the day but drops to 30F (and no heated homes) at night. But in La Merced aka THE JUNGLE it's a lovely 90F all the time.So how do you pack for a range of 30F - 90F? I'm still not sure but I'm proud to say I fit everything into 1-40L backpack (weighs only 25lbs) and 1-20L daypack! Hallelujah it's a miracle!!

My mom descided to surprise me with some authentic Peruvian Mdishes as our last meal. She looked up two different popular recipes and got all the ingredients together to make them!! The main dish was Causa, a potatoe and tuna casserole and the second dish was Solterito, a fava bean salad. Everything was so tasty & pretty and I'm now definitely looking forward to some more Peruvian style food.

Mom and Dad drove me to Hartfield-Jackson airport's new international terminal. First time to the new building and it's beautiful!! We said our goodbyes and as expected, Mom cried and Dad said something sarcastic.

Now I guess it's time to start cramming some Español into my brain... Here we go!
